As the weather turns cooler, many friends are more likely to suffer from symptoms such as fever and cough. The body is the capital of revolution, and people lack motivation to do anything when they feel uncomfortable. So, what are the things that cannot be eaten for fever and cough? Next, the editor will provide a detailed introduction to this aspect, hoping to be helpful to everyone.
1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweet foods can help generate heat and phlegm, leading to respiratory obstruction and worsening cough and phlegm symptoms. Therefore, people with cough should not eat sweet foods such as candy, chocolate, white sugar, brown sugar, preserved fruits, ice cream, etc. They should also not eat sweet fruits such as oranges, watermelons, grapes, etc.
2. Raw and cold foods often damage the spleen and stomach, leading to dysfunction of spleen and stomach circulation, weakening the body's recovery function, and increasing phlegm, exacerbating coughing. Ice sticks, frozen soda, ice juice, ice cream, etc. are not suitable for consumption.
3. Spicy food can easily trigger bacterial infections, invade the tracheal mucosa, exacerbate coughing, form sticky phlegm, and delay the condition. So, when coughing, one should pay attention to avoiding spicy, warm, and salty foods such as ginger, chili, pepper, chives, cilantro, onions, ginseng, lamb, dog meat, beef, pickles, preserved meat, etc., all of which should be eaten with caution. Pineapple, peach, cherry, lychee, bayberry, longan, and plum are isothermal fruits that should also be consumed in moderation. Prohibited from drinking alcohol, smoking, drinking strong tea, and coffee.
4. Greasy and thick foods are often difficult to digest, prone to dampness and heat, exacerbating the symptoms of phlegm heat, causing difficulty in coughing up phlegm, prolonging coughing time, and causing discomfort such as chest tightness. Therefore, when coughing, avoid eating fat meat, cheese, cream cake, roast chicken, fried, steak, Spring rolls, deep-fried dough sticks, Youbing (Deep-fried round and flat dough-cake), thick chicken soup, etc.
5. When coughing, one should stay away from various substances such as seafood, fish, shrimp, crabs, eggs, milk, chicken, duck, scallops, etc., because these fishy foods can easily stimulate the respiratory tract, hinder the stomach and spleen, increase phlegm and dampness, induce or worsen coughing, and slow down the condition.
6. Sour and astringent taste, such as vinegar, pickled Chinese cabbage, sour tangerine, garlic grape, hawthorn, and ripe crabapple and persimmon.
